Media: oil paint on hardboard panel
Size: 6x8 in
A view of the Nisqually Delta near Olympia Washington. The
best place to photograph the Nisqually delta is on the Interstate
overpass with cars whizzing by and no place to pull over. So I took a
very blurry picture while we were zooming down the road and used it as
the basis for this painting. The tidal flow in the delta had been diked
for about a century and the area used as a dairy farm. Recent
restoration of the delta removed the dikes and a much larger area is now
marshland.
